McRib

When they're smothered in sauce, cheese and grilled onions, the taste of the fries is nearly immaterial.

Yup. Just awful. Hamburgers and fries….literally the whole menu there, and half of it is terrible. Whenever I get In-N-Out I get a double double and then just get another double double instead of fries and that’s how I’ve managed to live with the place.

Also tons of Chains IMO changed things for the worse.

Went to Fuddruckers last week for first time in years. Don’t know if they changed or I changed, I used to like their fries but this time they were crap, double fried or some such inedible garbage. Notice a few other tables where folks had abandoned their fries also.

I love their fries, but they do take some babying to get right.

Many order them "well done", and that seems to suit them. I used to do that, but I don't anymore.

The game with In-n-Out fries is to not let the steam destroy them.

If you're eating in the restaurant, they put the burgers and fries in to a tray and then they put napkins over the fries. Yank those suckers off immediately.

Once back at the table, dump the fries out of their trays and scatter them, letting the steam ebb off as quickly as possible.

If you get them to go, you can do the same thing. I tell them to serve my food in a box, and you can scatter the fries the same way. Mind, if you them put them on the front seat in the blast of your air conditioner, you will likely be unhappy. DAMHIK. But, as a general rule, In-n-Out doesn't travel well. I think everything they have is much better fresh in the store.

If you put the fries in a bag, and seal it up, yea, they're toast. Actually, they're no toast, that's the problem. They're a steamed soggy mess.

I love In-n-Out. Nobody grills onions the way they do, and I think their fries are worth the effort.

The Habit does similar horrors to their fries. They put the burgers in the bottom of the bag, stack the fries on stop, and then shove a heap of napkins like a stopper on top of it all. Disaster. I actually strived to train the window person at my local Habit to try and not do that, tried to come up with magic words and the right order so they would understand to avoid that problem, but it never worked. So, I just have to pull over after the window, and tear everything apart and reassemble it in the car.

Chic-Fil-A cross cut fries travel pretty well. Red Robin has these potato, thick crinkle cut chip like fries, Yukon Potatoes I think, they travel really well, but RR uses vented serving trays, which also helps.
 
No their well done fries are terrible too.

They need to be soaked and double fried, and they are not. They are easily the worst fast food fries.

I use this technique and my home made ones are vastly superior

Fries are pure junk as is but when done right evidence remains of having been born from potatoes. But doesn’t double frying destroy any semblance of ever being an actual food product and reduce them to simple grease sacks. Might as well be constructed from wood pulp and synthetic oils with sprinkles of potato seasoning.
 
Are you asking if the appropriate way to cook french fries is the right way? Yes it is.

I don't know what weird fries you've been eating
 
For homemade I do fries in the oven. Chopped potatoes, never having contact with any oils.

sometimes on a frying pan

I liked the McRib as a kid but the last time a tried it, probably twenty years ago, it had zero appeal. ZERO :thumbdown

Ya'all need to step away from the mass chain fast food for a year or three & detox off of that shit. You will then find they ALL SUCK equally. There are plenty of local burger shacks & taquerias that make much higher quality products for a little bit more. & the profits stay & are spent local.:thumbup

Taco Smell when you live in California? Ridiculous! :thumbdown

In & Out can suck a dick! :thumbdown Their fries are the worst :thumbdown & their tiny proselytizing can also suck a dick. :thumbdown

Cereal, give it up for a few years & when you go back you'll never want it again. You'll probably lose a few pounds & your SO's will thank you for it


:laughing

Kind of like babying and ensuring a proper maintenance/care for an already produced product :laughing

In n Out is ok, but was never a favorite. I do enjoy it, but it's just ok. The fries when not 'animal style' are pretty bad.

For sure, but I don't spend an hour on a whim to make fries. I buy Yukon Gold potatoes if possible, slice them with my french fry slicer, boil them for 10 min vinegar water, and then double fry. I do like 5 -6 potatoes and freeze them after the first fry for home made instant fries.

My brother who lives in Canada visited Las Vegas and tried In N Out for the first time. He said he was disappointed.

Tell him to go try Five Guys or Smash Burger or something and see if he likes it better (while paying twice the price)
 
In the potato world, five guys fries are pro wrestlers and in & out fries are homeless meth users.
